So much is out of your control, so just DO YOUR BEST!
Welcome to my humble abode on the internet.
For my name, you could call me Xian if you know how to pronounce Chinese character - 显. Otherwise, just for your convenience, please call me Shawn, which has the similar pronunciation as Xian.
I got my Ph.D. from Michigan Technological University. My major is Mechanical Engineering, but my dissertation is more related to Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering.
I've lived in the beautiful and peaceful Upper Peninsula of Michigan since I came to U.S. So, I can proudly call myself a Yooper.
Life is good.
